Most likely. These replica exhausts all generally come from the same place, even Megan uses the same reverse engineering to make their stuff.

From the looks of it though, the welds may not be as good as the M2. Haven't seen it in person to really give a judgement though.

Good buy They're definitely worth it, as the build quality is fantastic for the price (but it seems they've climbed since I bought mine).

Do you have other exhaust mods? (Mid-pipe, etc.)

Thanks! As of now no other exhaust mods but I do plan on picking up an Invidia Midpipe later on after I get coilovers. I've been lurking around this thread for awhile now and waited for a slight price drop and I suppose a $20 drop swayed me to pick one up. I also plan on doing a resonator delete, but i'll see after I recieve the M2 next week. Hoping the m2 + my K&N shortram is a good duo. I'll keep updating once it's delivered.

on ebay, a lot of it says it won't fit on AWD? is this true because I've seen other members with AWD have this exhaust. Unless you need to buy a certain one. But from what I remember all exhaust for the 2IS should fit the same regardless if its RWD or AWD. Can someone confirm this? lol

Axleback exhausts fit all models. Difference between RWD and AWD is in the midpipe. You're good to buy one

Probably an hour of labor. My boy installed my HKS in my garage (regular garage) in only like 20-30 min

I would strongly suggest doing it yourself... you literally remove 2 bolts, then slide the exhaust out of a few rubber hangers, then reverse the process to install the new one. 30-60 minutes tops.

I took it to my local shop and they bent the hangers for me, took about 15 min
